1972 Map of Anoka

About this map

The Wabash River and Eel River converge at Logansport, defining the northwestern corner of this Indiana landscape. The river system is dotted with features like Biddle Island and Kienly Island, while the surrounding terrain is marked by Potawatomi Point and Morgan Hill. This 1972 survey, later updated in 1980, captures a rural infrastructure supported by the Norfolk and Western and Conrail railroads. Beyond the city limits, the grid of country roads connects smaller communities like Anoka and Deacon. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds and sanctuaries, including the Bruner Cem, Miller Cem, and Blue Ball Ch. The map also traces the transition of the local economy through sites like the Logansport Municipal Airport, a prominent Quarry, and the Cass High Sch in the southeast.
